Based on Jenny Han’s novels of the same name, the third season has been an agonising watch for viewers, as the love triangle only divided the Fisher brothers further, when Belly decided to marry Jeremiah.
By the finale, Belly has removed herself entirely from the situation.
The Summer I Turned Pretty ending explained
Once the shock subsides, they exchange awkward hugs and Conrad explains her has a conference in Brussels so thought he’d just pop by ahead of her birthday. Though Belly seems reluctant at first, she suggests they spend the day sightseeing before his train.
Anxious, she puts on lipstick but berates herself for doing so and says she’ll just spend the day with him and send him on his way. Meanwhile, back in Boston, Jeremiah is preparing to host a dinner as a new up and coming chef with Denise and Taylor’s help.
He’s thrilled for her, but she tells him not to tell anyone as Steven hasn’t told Taylor yet. Cue Taylor’s entrance.
The finale flits between Boston and Paris, where Belly and Conrad soak up the sights on a big bus tour. He keeps stealing glances at her and has flashbacks to their previous summers together. They exchange awkward small talk, until Conrad says he wishes he could see Paris the way that Belly does.
He thinks she’ll tease him for being a nerd, instead she says "for a second you looked like 10-year-old you". The sweet tension between them grows, and Conrad starts to realise how comfortable she is in Paris. She admits it hasn’t been easy and she felt like an idiot for so long with the language barrier, but remembered what he’d said about the pacific that it was like "standing on another planet, like anything was possible". For her, that’s Paris.

Conrad reminds her that she’s always been competitive, brave and as their mum’s called her a "feral ally cat," so Paris never stood a chance. After their candid chat, Belly invites him to the small dinner party her friends are throwing ahead of her birthday tomorrow and he agrees.
Conrad is in awe of Belly’s little black dress for her birthday, as he soaks in her apartment, her books, photos and pictures of the guy she was with on the bike. He feels a touch out of place until he sees the bear he won for her at the fair.
At the dinner, everyone greets Belly in French which gives them a chance to take in the sight of the ‘legendary’ Conrad Fisher, as Benito calls him and says "we’ve heard everything about you". Her girl friends swoon over him and find his surprise arrival romantic and want Belly to end up with him. But he still feels slightly on the outside as Belly sits with Benito and talks intimately at the big table, after he gave her a gorgeous sunlight photo of her half-naked in bed.
In Cousins, Jeremiah’s dad arrives for the dinner and Denise gives him a pep talk to keep going with it, as it won’t implode as he’s worked so hard. They share a sweet moment, but Denise shuts it down so he can get back to cooking.
Laurel is pleased that Jeremiah’s dad is there – even with his disgusting jokes – as she’s glad he’s trying. Laurel admits she misses everyone being together they toast to Belly. Taylor returns and argues with Steven in the kitchen, before Jeremiah throws them out. Taylor is upset that he didn’t ask her to move with him, when they’re serious now and Steven says he didn’t want to ask her to move for him when she’d already done that with Boston. She says it isn’t moving for him, but with him, and they reconcile saying it’s ‘fate’ they’re together and decide to move to San Francisco.
Belly and Conrad walk home together in the moonlight, as Belly’s birthday officially begins. He admits that he thought Belly was living in exile, but now sees the beautiful life she has in Paris. Belly says at the start she thought the loneliness was a punishment, but is happier now. Conrad reveals Jeremiah knows he’s in Paris, and Belly is relieved he’s OK with it.
Belly and Conrad go down to the Seine and dance together to I Only Have Eyes for You, as they reminisce about their frightful Prom night, before Belly admits she didn’t write back to Conrad in an attempt to move on. He asks if she has moved on, before they kiss. Another Taylor Swift needle drop happens (this time with Dress) as a montage of them in a passionate frenzy kissing in the taxi home, all the way back to her apartment ensues.
She asks when he’s leaving, but he says he might skip the conference and she tells him not to change his plans for her as she wouldn’t do that for him. He understands but she retreats to the bathroom and when she comes back encourages him to get the next train in an hour at 5am.
She says she does, but doesn’t know if it’s because his mum wanted them to be together, and if she hadn’t died, then maybe he wouldn’t feel like this. Belly says she wishes she could be as sure as he is about how they feel, but she isn’t. So, in tears, he gets dressed and leaves.
Taylor Swift's Out of the Woods plays as Belly gets her big romcom moment, running through the streets of Paris and getting a cab to the station to chase him down. She rushes down the platform, walks through every carriage until she finds Conrad, crying, and says: “Is this seat taken?”
The elation continues back home too as everyone celebrate Jeremiah’s successful night, as he holds hands with Denise under the table and Steven and Taylor seem more loved up than ever.
Before the credits, there’s a sweet photo montage of their Christmas together in Paris. And the tease to end all teases, the episode ends with a handwritten note from the author Han herself who thanks fans for their love and dedication to the show, and adds: "Maybe we will meet again one summer in Cousins, until then… All my love always, Jenny." We’re already seated.
